Chapter Twenty-Five: Bole Soma
Early the next morning, the streets were bustling. People who practice martial arts have never been lazy in bed, and they have nothing to do when they get up, and they have no place to practice martial arts today, but they can't sleep when they lie down, so they can only lie on the railing and watch the street scene bored. The crowd in the distance was in a commotion, and when they looked at it, they saw a fierce horse stumbling on it. The owner of the horse strangled the horse with a halter, two men of five big and three thick men grabbed the horse's halter, and three or four servants followed behind with whips. The horse was still screaming and kicking, and was almost about to break free and escape, but the owner of the horse shouted loudly to make everyone around him avoid it, and if he accidentally kicked someone, it would be broken. No one dared to ask for these oxen and horses that were terrible, and if they could not be tamed, they would be in the way of the Lord.
As soon as he saw this horse, he exclaimed, "Good horse!" He jumped down the stairs and rushed over. Tong An and the others also trotted to follow when they had nothing to do, this is a good tree riding skill, the main reason is that he understands horses, and the good horses in his mouth are also wanted to be seen. Tian Xing and Yiwu walked behind them, not like they were in a hurry. After all, the fierce horse broke out of control and rushed straight ahead of them. The tree that ran in front did not flinch, galloped towards the fierce horse, and the moment he rubbed shoulders with the fierce horse, he lifted the reins of the horse, and a harrier turned over and rode directly on the horse's back. The legs clamped the horse's belly, and the arms held the reins hard, and pulled back hard, and the front hooves of the fierce horse hung in the air, and after a stalemate, he stopped and stopped running. The onlookers are better, such a wonderful scene can make the tea shop storytelling.
The owner of the fierce horse finally relaxed, and he was worried that if this horse caused a big disaster to him, he might not be able to pay enough if he sold it, not to mention that now he knows that this is a horse, horse, who would buy it stupidly. He jumped off the horse carefully, patted the horse's back gently, and hummed quietly, as if talking to the horse. The horse slowly quieted down, and gently arched his head to pinch the tree. The onlookers were amazed. The tree handed the reins to its master, and before the man could reach out and take the reins, the horse became agitated again. The tree stroked the horse's sideburns, and it quieted down after a while. This time he didn't hand the reins to its owner.
After some inquiry, I learned that this horse was inferior and difficult to change, did not obey discipline, could not be used in any work, looked ugly, his eyes were angry, his anger was too heavy, he felt unlucky, and he was ready to be led to the horse market to sell. Before it reached the horse market, it was stumbling again, and there was no way to take it.
As soon as he heard that he was going to sell this horse, he immediately said, "I want this horse!" The owner of the horse was stunned when he heard this, could it be that this person stopped the horse and wanted to take it for himself? Give it to him unwillingly, don't give it to him and owe him a favor, when he was in a dilemma, he heard the tree and said, how much do you say to sell? Oh, it turned out to be to buy a horse, not to occupy it, the owner of the horse breathed a sigh of relief, but how much is the right amount to set? Normally, a horse would cost two hundred yuan, and this horse should also be worth a hundred yuan, so he stretched out a finger.
In the crowd of onlookers, someone couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly: "Bah, your horse is so fierce, and your appearance is so ugly, are you embarrassed to sell a hundred pieces?" Forget it after killing and eating, you are still embarrassed here. ”
When the owner of the horse next to him heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and he was embarrassed to speak again: "If you really want it, take it away!" ”
"No, no, no, a hundred pipes is a hundred." He raised his eyes to look at Tian Xing behind him, and said loudly: "Tian Gongzi, this horse is worth a hundred yuan,"
Tian Xing smiled, untied the money bag from his waist, and handed it to the tree. He seems to have forgotten that they are going to Chang'an City, this fierce horse can't be tamed for a while, and I'm afraid I don't have the time to take care of it on the road. Tian Xing believed in his vision and did not remind him what to do with it after he bought it.
While he was counting the money, he heard someone say loudly, "I'll pay three hundred yuan for this horse!" "Halfway through, I made a trip to bite the gold, this is to steal business. Looking up, a personable boy and brother walked with a servant waving a fan. The surrounding crowd hurriedly gave way, and shouted in their mouths: "Oops, Li Gongzi is here." "This Li Gongzi is also a horse idiot, and when he meets a favorite horse, he has to buy it no matter how much money he spends. But today's horse, in the eyes of everyone, doesn't look like a good horse, fifty yuan is not worth it, and some people bid for 100 yuan, and this Li Gongzi directly bid for 300 yuan.
"Oh, Li Gongzi, I'm sorry, I've already sold this horse to this brother, I'm really sorry!" The owner of the horse was very excited when he heard the three hundred yuan, but he had just promised to sell it to this brother, and if he repented in front of everyone, I am afraid that no one would be willing to do business with him in the future, and he would scold himself for being a white-eyed wolf and not knowing how to repay him. Hey, I can only refuse painfully.
Li Gongzi asked Zhen Shu for 300 yuan if he was willing to change hands. The tree refused, cleanly, without the slightest hesitation.
"What about the four hundred yuan?"
"Not for sale!"
"Five hundred yuan is always okay, right?"
"If you say you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and you won't sell it no matter how much you pay!"
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, did this person have a brain problem, he could buy fifty yuan, but he had to pay one hundred yuan; Now it can be sold for 500 yuan in one hand, but it is not sold. What is the use of such a fierce horse, if it were himself, two hundred yuan would have changed hands long ago, one against one hundred yuan, but the white wolf with empty gloves!
"I really like this horse, I am willing to buy it if you drive it, as much as you want." Li Gongzi was a little anxious.
"Why do you like this horse?" Zhen Shushu found out that this person could also take a horse, could it be that it was also Ma Bole?
"Don't hide it from my brother, although this horse has a fierce temperament and looks ugly, but this is all external appearance, it is a once-in-a-century King Kong horse, King Kong is angry, and it is not enough to travel thousands of miles a day!" Li Gongzi said, his eyes showed sincere appreciation and admiration.
"Then tell me why this horse is the way it is?" He thinks he might have met a soulmate.
"This horse's complexion is different from ordinary horses, it has the air of a divine horse, and its bones are strange. The owner of this horse should feed it in the same way as a bad horse, how can this horse show its strengths? Besides, let him soak with those bad horses every day, just like a talented person buried in a group of mediocre people, depressed and unwilling, and it is strange that he does not complain, so the horse's temperament became irritable, and over time it became what it is today. Li Gongzi told the story, talking about the head is the way.
Everyone looked at the owner of the horse curiously, trying to make sure that what Li Gongzi said was right. The owner of the horse's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that what Li Gongzi said was exactly the same, the chick nodded like a peck of rice, and said in his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, that's how I raised it." ”
The crowd cheered!
